SA assumes G20 presidency

President Cyril Ramaphosa has pledged that the G20 under South African presidency will remain focused on initiatives to support development. Ramaphosa officially launched South Africa's presidency of the G20 in parliament yesterday. South Africa assumed the presidency of the G20 on Sunday, taking over from Brazil.

It is the first time an African nation chairs the G20 to bring the development priorities of Africa and the global south more firmly onto the agenda of the bloc. South Africa has adopted the theme "Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability" for its presidency, which takes place at a time the world is facing severe challenges.
